COVER STORY: NATURA-TEC
Bio-compatible and bio-mimetic ingredients
A new era is coming with profound changes from a human, social and environmental point of view. The course of human history is evolving towards the modification of social ties, the search for wellbeing and the protection of the individual and the environment, which encourages, in our cosmetic sector, the improvement and promotion of the spirit of enterprise, communication and innovation which will stimulate a new growth model.
Bio-compatible silicone alternatives – full range Natura-Tec Plantsil™ types: “silicone-like” performance products. “Keeping the effects, but naturally”, that´s what Natura-Tec Plantsils™ are designed for. The COSMOS approved Natura- Tec Plantsils™ are not concerned about being compared with synthetic silicones in terms of application properties. Created on the base of natural components, they can replace some of the most important silicone derivatives of the Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone range. Considering the human and environmental toxicological profile of their natural-based ingredients, they do not provide any basis for discussion. All of them are renewable, readily biodegradable and therefore show no bioaccumulation. They are highly tolerated by skin, eyes and environment. No SVHC substances are present in the production processes or in the finished products. Looking at the formulation side the Natura-Tec Plantsils™ are highly compatible with other ingredients and easy to formulate. No special emulsifiers are needed. The Natura-Tec Plantsil™ range comprises three products. The spectrum of performance of Plantsil™, Plantsil™ Xcite 100 and the super emollient Plantsil™ Xcite 350. ■ Plantsil™ : green alternative to Cyclomethicone D5 or Dimethicone 200. A highly stable transparent, very light fluid oil with rapid absorption, superior smoothness, good spreadability and no tacky- or greasiness.

the future. Throughout 2020, Natura-Tec has largely contributed to preparing for this concept by offering a multiplicity of bio-compatible alternatives as well as bio-mimetic ingredients.
Bio-mimetic ingredients The field of bio-mimetics has become a stimulating new multidisciplinary field that merges the inspiring solutions of nature with the cutting edge of modern technology, encouraging technological discoveries that could enable people to live sustainable and economical lives, more in unity with the environment. Microalgae are considered one of the most attractive bio-based sources thanks to their specific properties. Let’s review some of the recent highlights of

■ Plantsil™ Xcite 100 : a green alternative to low viscous silicone like Dimethicone 100. It proved to have excellent spreadability, elegant smoothness and good penetration without tackiness or residual greasy feel. ■ Plantsil™ Xcite 350: green alternative to medium viscous silicone like Dimethicone 350. It shows excellent filming characteristics, medium spreadability, appealing suppleness and a pleasant rich touch The Natura-Tec Plantsil™ range offers a
tool for formulating sustainable and innovative cosmetics. It displays that it is possible to replace synthetic raw materials with eco- friendly ingredients without compromising performance. This is our way of developing innovative,
green, multifunctional ingredients for Cosmetics 2.0, and we will continue to follow this path into

March 2021 PERSONAL CARE Xcite 350 ■ PlantsilTM ■ Smoothness
Natura-Tec : ■ Natura-Tec Marine BlueRevelation 50+™ is the new anti-ageing microalgae active ingredient, which is the perfect balance to age gracefully combining lifestyle and skin care. For women and men over 50 who want to age better over time. Today, we see change in mentality. Ageing with elegance becomes the new standard with the need to do everything possible to progress in the years with confidence and good conscious. Natura- Tec Marine BlueRevelation™ 50+ takes up these challenges by intensively moisturises, nourishes and smoothes the skin while acting on cutaneous density and elasticity. ■ Natura-Tec Marine OceanMist CL ™ is the ideal active ingredient to repair and rebuild atopic and sensitive skin and scalp as well as to rebalance and nourish the cutaneous microbiome. It plays a major role thanks to the action of phytocholesterol to rebuild the fundamental extracellular lamellar matrix. It is suitable for sensitive and atopic skin improving their health and condition. In addition, on dry and sensitive skin, it is able to restore a normal skin type generating a healthier skin microbiota. ■ Natura-Tec SeaPassion ™ is a powerful anti- acne active ingredient that fights inflammation and dysfunction of lipid synthesis generated by acne. This active modulates the activity of the Forkhead Box O1 protein (FoxO1), a key regulator of acne by concentrating it inside the nuclei and thus by repressing the key pathways encoding the pathogenesis of acne.
